Gun holster / mount

Silverado-Hareek · May 14, 2014

I'm looking for a way to mount a holster inside the flip down storage compartment at the driver's right hand side under the steering wheel (on trucks without center consoles that have a split bench seat in the front). I think some modifications to the inside of that compartment would have to be made to fit the gun. But it would be cool to put it there because it is still easily accessible but not visible when it's closed.

I came up with nothing on this. So I put it in the center counsel.

Mine sits in the center console.

That's how I mount my Bersa BP9CC when I'm not wearing it.

Yeah I was looking at mine today while driving around and there's really no way to make enough room for a full-size or compact size pistol without cutting that bulky latch away somehow which would render the door inoperable. Next truck will definitely be a trim level up so I can get a deep center console. I'm going to keep trying to come up with something though...

When my gun sits in the truck here at the office I just stick in the slot cubby in the center console. I don't have to worry about the truck at the office since we are inside of a secured area with armed patrols.

Now when I go out and cant bring it my gun in with me it gets hidden in a spot that no one will notice. Sucks but I try to not have to do it very often.

I run the Gold Dots in my S&W MP series guns, my Sig 1911 doesn't like them though as they seem to get hung up on the feed ramp so I switched over the Winchester PDX-1 in that gun. I also have some Golden Sabers and some Rangers as well.

Its hard to reach for my EDC gun in my pants at the 4:00 position when buckled in, so here is what I do/did... I took a Blackhawk Serpa with belt slide (these are great holsters, btw) and screwed it to the housing of the lower center console (I have split bench seats). I chose the Level 2 retention so that it cannot be (easily) grabbed and removed from the holster by a passenger, or child, but mounted it in a way where my finger naturally falls on the release lever when I reach for it. In regard to it being in plain view when the vehicle is unoccupied, I drape a ball cap over it, or remove it from the holster and lock it in the console that the holster is mounted to. Now, in case of emergency, I have 2 guns instead of one!

For those with bucket seats, I have had this holster in my three previous vehicles and mount it the same way, except for it is under the steering column, and angled so that it naturally fits my hand when I reach for it. Also, if you have a dark grey/black interior, a black gun in a black holster is VERY hard to see when mounted here, almost invisible from the exterior of the vehicle....

If you are worried about drilling holes, just use small screws and large washers, the holes will hardly be noticable when/if you remove it, and they are in places that most people probably will never notice them.

P.S. I am from Mississippi, where we (arguably) have the most gun-owner-friendly gun laws in the country. Everything I have stated above is totally legal where I live and travel, but may not be where you are. Know your local laws about weapons in vehicles!

EDIT/TIP: use a heat gun to mold the the belt attachment to fit whatever you are mounting it to!
